What is corey doing in neighbours?
As a huge chapter of Harlow Robinson’s (Jemma Donovan) life closes in Neighbours, she makes a huge decision to make a fresh start thousands of miles away from her Erinsborough home.
Corey (Laurence Boxhall) is not done terrorising Harlow and her friends. As Harlow’s sting operation goes ahead, he has one final move up his sleeve, one that puts several lives in danger. When Harlow gets Corey right where she wants him, she and Andrew (Lloyd Will) realise it’s too dangerous to go ahead and they bow out of the situation but are unaware that Zara and Sadie decide to go in their place.
Determined to give him his comeuppance, Zara (Freya Van Dyke) and Sadie (Emerald Chan) prepare to face Corey alone, but before they realise what’s happening he spins the tables on them and kidnaps them. In the process, Sadie is left injured.
But just like he underestimated Freya, Corey underestimates Zara, who is ready to put up a fight. She swallows her rising panic to formulate an escape plan; the savvy kid drugs an unsuspecting Corey with his own drugs, then commandeers his vehicle to hot foot it back to Ramsay Street with him in the tow so that he can face justice.
Her plan works and she turns him into the police, but Corey plays his final trump card, refusing to speak to anyone until he speaks to Harlow.
This works out well for Harlow as she finally has the chance to question him and get the answers she’s so desperately needs. Feeling empowered, she walks away from him with her head high ready for a fresh start.
Closing that door in her life prompts a deep and meaningful between her and a grieving Mackenzie (Georgie Stone). Mack has come to learn how fragile life is having lost her new husband so suddenly, and pushes Harlow to follow her dreams to London. Having received the OK from her best friend, Harlow makes her tearful goodbyes and heads off to her new life, stunning Terese with her shock decision.
Harlow Robinson (Jemma Donovan) was left in shock in Neighbours, after finding out that Corey Smythe-Jones (Laurence Boxhall) has been drugging her.
Corey, as viewers are aware, is a member of The Order, and he has been tasked with recruiting Harlow.
His mission has proven successful thus far, as he’s been manipulating her, isolating her from all of those around her.
Freya Wozniak (Phoebe Roberts), however, proved to be a thorn in his side, as she figured out what he and colleague Christabel Bancroft (Sid Zygier) were up to, and made plans to put a stop to it.
Corey successfully apprehended Freya before she could get to Harlow, but he was forced to think on his feet, as he took Harlow on yet another trip.
Harlow, suffering from the drugs he’s been putting in her food, felt incredibly unwell, and begged him to pull over the car so that she could be sick.
Corey did just that, allowing Harlow to throw up on the side of the road. Afterwards, she felt much better.
In fact, it was the most awake she’d been in weeks, prompting Corey to give her a water bottle, which was laced with drugs.
The villain popped out to get some food, but something he said left Harlow on edge, and after hunting through her backpack, she realised that Corey had been drugging her!
She headed into the restaurant, and notified one of the employees that she was in danger. The employee called for the police, but Corey figured out what was going on and chased Harlow!

Harlow locked herself in a room, but Corey was adamant that he wasn’t leaving without her, as he retrieved a crowbar and started attacking the door!
Will Harlow manage to avoid Corey’s wrath?
Freya, meanwhile, managed to break free, and with Levi Canning (Richie Morris) and David Tanaka (Takaya Honda) having successfully located her, the trio set off in search of Harlow.
The question is: will they find her in time before Corey breaks the door down?

He may have been out of sight for a while now, but Corey is about to make a dramatic reappearance in Neighbours.
The last time we saw Corey, he had abducted Harlow, drugged her, and whisked her away so she can become the latest member of his cult, The Order.
Viewers will know that The Order was an organisation that Harlow's mum was involved in during her later years, and they are certainly a persistent bunch.

Corey fled after Harlow was saved by Freya, Levi, and David, but Harlow soon learned he had not given up on her when she discovered that he installed spyware on her phone.
She has been determined to use that knowledge to draw him out of hiding, but in next week's episodes, the plan is met with some resistance from Sergeant Andrew Rodwell.
Andrew makes it clear how much he disagrees with her plan, and insists that she shut it down for her own safety.
Harlow manages to set up a meeting with Corey, and is adamant that she knows what she is doing though. She proceeds with the plan, only to be met with a twist when Corey changes the place and the time at the very last minute.

Andrew takes this as another sign that they are right to be wary, but there is one Ramsay Street resident looking to atone for their past sins – Sadie.
Reeling from what she did to Hendrix, Sadie is keen to do some good and when she gets wind of the sting operation, she recruits Zara, and they plan to try and bring down Corey themselves.
But this soon proves to be a risky plan as the girls head into the bush and come face to face with the man himself – and it is clear that they severely underestimated what Corey is capable of…

These scenes air in the UK from Monday 16th May, and in Australia from Tuesday 14th June.
Harlow (Jemma Donovan) and Corey (Laurence Boxhall) first met in London, where Harlow was visiting her aunt Harriet (Amanda Holden). Harriet was out to get Prue’s (Denise Van Outen) diary to hand it over to The Order, but Corey convinced Harlow to burn it, telling her it would put an end to the secretive cult’s obsession with it.
In reality, Corey himself is a member of The Order, and he knew that the diary contained an important USB stick which wouldn’t get burnt in the fire. He later returned to collect it from the ashes, and was stunned when he saw its contents.
He soon turned up in Erinsborough, claiming he’d been so taken with Harlow that he had to come visit her again. The two struck up a fleeting romance, but Harlow soon realised she was still fixated on Ned (Ben Hall), and called things off.
In reality, Corey is being controlled by Christabel Bancroft (Zyd Zygier), a woman from The Order who has made it very clear he has to bring Harlow in. Harlow breaking up with him threw a spanner in the works, and he now has to try even harder to get closer to her.
In recent episodes, an unknown figure – presumably Corey – vandalised Amy’s (Jacinta Stapleton) Drinks Diva truck, making it look like Harlow was to blame. He also hinted to Terese (Rebekah Elmaloglou) that Harlow knew about Paul’s plans to sabotage Fashion Week, creating a deep divide between Terese and her step-granddaughter.
This week (UK: Wednesday 11th May / Aus: Monday 13th June), Corey steers Harlow away from her family as she tries to reconnect with them following Ned’s departure.
Then, next week (UK: Monday 16th May / Aus: Tuesday 14th June), it seems something’s wrong with Harlow. She’s lethargic and out of sorts, but she has no idea that Corey has been secretly drugging her.
Worse, thanks to his efforts to isolate her from her loved ones, Harlow has nobody to turn to.
His manipulation is working perfectly, and Harlow still has no idea that he’s anything but the perfect gentleman.
However, David (Takaya Honda) has begun to suspect that something’s up, and starts snooping.
Fearing that the doctor is onto him, Corey begins to turn Harlow against her uncle. With the help of the drugs he’s giving her, Harlow becomes more and more alienated from her friends and family.
Chloe (April Rose Pengilly) is also busy looking into how the projection of Ned and Harlow ended up on Harlow’s dress at Fashion Week. It was initially blamed on Harlow’s jealous Lassiters colleagues, bitter at Harlow once again being giving special treatment. However, is Chloe beginning to suspect that someone else is to blame?
Knowing he’s close to getting caught, Corey speeds up his plan, and whisks Harlow away for a weekend trip.
As they leave Ramsay Street behind, she’s unaware she may never see her family again…
Is there trouble on the way for Toadie (Ryan Moloney) and Melanie (Lucinda Cowen)?
Next week, Melanie is put out when Amy thwarts her date plans with Toadie.
Then, things go from bad to worse when Amy hates Melanie’s redesign of the Drinks Diva – needed after the van was vandalised.
Yet rather than comforting Melanie, who’s sad that her hard work was rejected, Toadie comforts Amy, leaving Melanie concerned about how much involvement Amy has in his life…
